Bronx Bombers (play)

Bronx Bombers is a play written by Eric Simonson, and produced by Fran Kirmser and Tony Ponturo, in conjunction with the New York Yankees and Major League Baseball.[1] Kirmser and Ponturo sat down with Yogi Berra and his wife, Carmen, to discuss writing a play where the plot would center around them, gaining their approval.[3] Present day Yankees Mark Teixeira and CC Sabathia promoted the show on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon.Berra then has a dream where he and his wife have dinner with Yankees' greats Joe DiMaggio, Elston Howard, Mickey Mantle, Lou Gehrig, Babe Ruth, and Derek Jeter.Joe Pantoliano was cast in the role of Yogi Berra for the Broadway production,[10] but he dropped out during rehearsals due to "creative differences".
